Shaw's Eliminates Discount Cards

A local grocery chain, with a location in Beverly, has eliminated its discount card program.

Maybe your keychain or wallet is loaded down with small plastic tags, offering discounts of chain stores ranging from CVS to Modell’s.

Now, you’ll be able to toss at least one of those tags.

Shaw’s Supermarket, with a location in Beverly at North Beverly Plaza, announced this week it will no longer use the discount cards, reports WCVB-TV.
